Compliance With The Eu Machinery Directive - Safety Sub-Functions - Mitsubishi Electric 800 Series Instruction Manual

1.1
Compliance with the EU Machinery Directive -
Safety sub-functions
Mitsubishi Electric FR-E800-SCE series general-purpose inverters have met the SIL 3 requirements of the international
standard IEC 61508:2010 for functional safety.
Safety performance
(Standards certified by a third-party
certification body)
This product supports safety sub-functions (STO, SS1, SLS, SSM, and SBC) specified in IEC 61800-5-2.
By connecting the inverter with a safety programmable controller with an Ethernet cable, signal input via safety communication
is enabled.
To use safety sub-functions, any work on the product such as wiring and inspections must be performed according to the
Instruction Manual by technicians who took a safety standard training.
WARNING
• Any misuse of safety sub-functions may cause physical injury, damage to property, or economic loss. To confirm that the system is
compliant with safety standards, a risk assessment must be conducted for the entire system. We shall not be liable for the compliance of
the system with safety standards.
• To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the voltage on the bus capacitors has discharged before working on the inverter. Measure
the DC bus voltage between terminals P/+ and N/- or other measurement points to verify zero voltage. (For the measurement points and
the capacitor discharge time, refer to the Instruction Manual of the inverter.)
• When the power supply to the gate drive circuit is shut off by a safety sub-function, the inverter and the motor are not insulated each
other. To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the voltage on the bus capacitors has discharged before wiring or inspection of the
motor. Measure the DC bus voltage between terminals P/+ and N/- or other measurement points to verify zero voltage. (For the
measurement points and the capacitor discharge time, refer to the Instruction Manual of the inverter.)
CAUTION
• Check safety sub-functions at least once per three months. Also, check the functions at system installation, any software changes, and
parameter setting changes.
• The following information is merely a guide for proper installation.
We shall not be liable for the compliance or non-compliance with any local, national, or international codes or regulations for the installation
of this product.
Installation not compliant with applicable codes or directives may cause physical injury or damage to property.
